Attacking Saint Etienne Face Low Scoring Clermont
Saint Etienne have averaged well over two goals scored in recent matches and look set to create chances from open play against a defense that has conceded steadily. Clermont Foot enter with almost no goals in their last outings and a pattern of failing to score that limits their threat on the counter. Earlier meetings between the pair produced multiple goals on most occasions as Saint Etienne dominated possession and moved the ball forward quickly. The home side’s current winning streak suggests they will press high and push numbers into attack from the start. Clermont have kept clean sheets but their lack of forward movement means Saint Etienne should still find the net at least once or twice. This setup favors a game where the total goals edge past one and a half without needing an open shootout.
